Water rocket with automatic parachute

The Summer Introduction Programme 2015 welcomes about 1600 international students who follow an obligatory programme. Throughout a week of project work students design a water rocket and an academic poster, get familiarized with the Delft study method, and working in multicultural groups.

In our project team, Edam 3, we designed a water rocket with a self-deploying parachute. Innovative solutions are included, and sustainability was considered. We learnt working on a problem in a multicultural group from this project that will be useful in our studies.
